I open my eyes and I can hear you calling out my name. In the darkness, your voice resonates. Where are you? I try to follow the sound but the blackness never ends. I start to gasp for air, it starts to get hot and confined. Where am I? I don’t know how I got into this place but I know you need me. You need me to save you.
Until I saw the light.
I can hear your voice still but it was slowly fading, fading, fading as I followed the light. I wanted to come back for you. I wanted to save you. But you stopped calling my name. You were saying another name. It was as if you gave up on seeking for me. So I followed the light.
The light brought everything I never had in that closeted little space. Air, brightness, hope. I felt alive.
But why do I still hear your voice when I close my eyes?
